2(p-3)=4(p-10)

Solution for 2(p-3)=4(p-10) equation:

Simplifying
2(p + -3) = 4(p + -10)

Reorder the terms:
2(-3 + p) = 4(p + -10)
(-3 * 2 + p * 2) = 4(p + -10)
(-6 + 2p) = 4(p + -10)

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 2p = 4(-10 + p)
-6 + 2p = (-10 * 4 + p * 4)

Solving
-6 + 2p = -40 + 4p

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4p' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 2p + -4p = -40 + 4p + -4p

Combine like terms: 2p + -4p = -2p
-6 + -2p = -40 + 4p + -4p

Combine like terms: 4p + -4p = 0
-6 + -2p = -40 + 0
-6 + -2p = -40

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + -2p = -40 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -2p = -40 + 6
-2p = -40 + 6

Combine like terms: -40 + 6 = -34
-2p = -34

Divide each side by '-2'.
p = 17

Simplifying
p = 17
